26.12.2023 - New version 1.4 of my Bally 7digit display. For the version with preassembled LED digits you can also do a 'one click' order at PCBWay now! See also my review with a comparison of ordering at JLCPCB & PCBWay.

24.12.2023 - Version2 of battery eliminator added. V2 supports Gottlieb SYS1 & Atari Gen2

30.11.2023 - battery eliminator for Gottlieb SYS80 MPUs (NVRAM dual CS)

24.11.2023 - I created FPGA SW versions for my Cyclone IV dev board which can be alternatively used now for BallyFA, GottFA80, GottFA1 and GottFA1_PLuS. See link to my FPGA Software repository in the respective section

30.10.2023 - v1.09 for WillFA7. Pulsetime adjustment for special solenoids and support of Defender & Star Light (together with Cyclone IV board) added.

08.10.2023 - 'Say it again' replacement board

24.09.2023 - DIY version with working JTAG mode of USB Blaster available

23.09.2023 - Note: JLCPCB has changed the way they check CPL/BOM consistency. Now an error message is popping up in case there are parts in the CPL which are not in the BOM ( "  designators don't exist in the CPL file.) Former checks did ignore this ... I need to adapt all my CPL files which will take some time. In the meantime 'usually' you can ignore this error message.

22.09.2023 - finally my GODISP_DMD, a replacement display for Gottlieb 80B & SYS3 ( MA-644, MA-999 & MA-1361) is ready.

14.09.2023 - added attract mode for Gottlieb System1 games with GottFA1 / GottFA1_PLuS and latest software version (0.98). Check out the new 'Attract mode page' on how to use it.

10.09.2023 - new GottFA1_PLuS hardware version. As the voltage regulator IC TL783 has good availibility again (its included now in the JLCPCB parts list) with latest HW version (v1.41) I changed back to this regulator again.

15.08.2023 - new Heatsink, which is in Stock at JLCPCB, for GottFA80_PLuS (v104)
